PS, on the teaching jobs being hard to find, the elementry positions are the

hardest, this will be changing here in MN, and probably other states, when the

current bunch start to retire, but I figure alot of them still have about 10

yrs left before retirement, so take what you can now, a foot in the door

helps. My oldest in teaching 2nd grade after doing 3rd grade for 2 yrs, but she

had to move south (phoenix) to get the job her roommate from college stayed here

and is still looking three years later, so grab what you can now. :-)

> Well, I've finally gotten there! I graduated on Saturday with my Bachelor

of Science Degree in Elementary Education, summa cum laude after 4 and a

half years of school. It was a very memorable moment for me, realizing that

you can achieve anything you set your mind to. The most touching moment was

walking in procession and seeing trying to find me among the hundreds

who were dressed alike in a black cap and gown and when he finally did, he

gave me a great big smile and a " thumbs up. " How awesome is that?!!!!

> I may have a job right after Christmas too! My cooperating teaching who I

did my student teaching with got another job in another school district so I

interview for the position tomorrow. Everyone seems to think they will give

it to me since I know the kids and have been teaching them for the last 2

months. I had my heart set on a K-4 classroom, but this is a 6th grade

English/Lit. position in the Reading School District (urban in every sense

of the word). The kids are extremely challenging but I'll take the job just

to get experience! Here's keeping my fingers crossed!
